Vastly more complex than the Paris Agreement itself are the set of rules that will make it work After three years of talking, delegates have arrived in Katowice, Poland, to make a deal on the so-called rulebook of the Paris Agreement.
Why are they still negotiating?
These include guidelines on how to articulate and track national climate pledges or, in UN jargon, nationally determined contributions or NDCs; how to meet a national target by helping other countries to reduce their emissions, or how to communicate national efforts to adapt to climate change.
Also on the table will be rules on how to report on finance for climate action and equip developing countries with technology to combat climate change.
Finally, there’s already a copious section dedicated to making the reporting actions more transparent and defining reviewing procedures, such as the global stocktake or the compliance committee.
Country A, for example, may give economy-wide targets for cutting carbon, while others will focus on bringing down emissions per sector.
This will help to make the implementation of the Paris agreement more transparent over time, and foster countries’ trust in each other’s efforts.
In return for greater accountability, developing countries will be expecting financial help from rich countries.
Many of the debates over the rulebook will focus on how climate action is reviewed.
Are the rules going to be the same for every country?
